I thank all of you for your comments. I meant the poem to be poignant and loving, but a bit of longing in her heart for the man he used to be.... perhaps life has beaten him down a bit... but she loves him, non-the-less.

I always wanted to look through a romantics keepsake box and wonder if it would house the same things mine would if I had one. I don't think my junk drawer in my bedroom counts...but it can be pretty interesting when I clean it out annually....lol. This was magic...great writing.

Let Life Happen

"What should I say about your tendency to doubt your struggle or to harmonize your inner and outer life? My wish is ever strong that you find enough patience within you and enough simplicity to have faith. May you gain more and more trust in what is challenging, and confidence in the solitude you bear. Let life happen to you. Believe me: life is in the right in any case." (Rainer Maria Rilke) Furnborg, Jonsered, Sweden, November 4, 1904 Letters to a Young Poet
